My wife and I have been married for seven years. We discovered our problem two years ago and the matter was simple. I had a zero sperm count and our local doctors told us to consider adoption. We felt that there were other options available to us and we would have to find those. So, surfing the net, we came across Dr. Malpani’s web site. We read (and re-read) through the site and decided that we should contact them. We had also come across other sites but none of those were as clear as how this one is explained.

Coincidentally we had to travel to India for other reasons and took the opportunity to see Dr. Malpani. As with a lot of places in India the exterior of the clinic was pretty ordinary and we were hesitant as we went up the lift. But our apprehension melted away once we entered the clinic. We immediately got friendly and efficient service that made it easy for us to feel at home and comfortable. The clinic is clean and modern and very inviting.

The doctor saw us and we explained to him our problem. Now the best thing about these doctors is that they are very straight forward and do not beat around the bush. Couples such as ourselves are looking for ambitious and positive answers for the doctor but in this case the doctor does not put any false hopes in you but rather discusses the logical possibilities if any. He told us that we had a chance with the TESE-ICSI treatment.

As it was late for to start treatment and so we returned to the clinic after ten months. (we live in Kenya by the way). But during this ten months we were constantly in touch the clinic and they helped us to prepare for our visit.

The treatment went as per plan and the doctors took us through each and every step very carefully. At any point where the treatment was not responding, the doctors took it very seriously and adjusted medication accordingly. This made us feel that this is not a profit hungry commercial enterprise but made of people who care about patients and their feelings first.

My wife is now nearly three months pregnant due to the hope, encourage, treatment and good advice given to us my Dr. Malpani. From having lost hope to having a chance now, my wife and I cannot describe it as anything else but a miracle!!

I would recommend to any couple having problems with infertility to talk to these guys, I can assure you that they will be of tremendous help…whether your infertility problems are solved OR NOT…..

We would like to share our views and memories to all those concern about not having to bear a child. This clinic of DR. Aniruddha and Anjali Malpani a.k.a THE MALPANI INFERTILITY CLINIC where you can make your dream come true. It all started with our numerous efforts to have a baby which included trips to doctors who kept giving us tablets, other couples & family
members who kept pressuring & traumatizing us & also visits to all possible places of worship & astrologists. Then one fine day we started to surf on the internet looking for a IVF facility here in USA and to our luck this website of The Malpani Infertility Clinic popped up, hence we went through that website very thoroughly and found very interesting and informative. The next thing we did was to write an e.mail to Dr. Malpani with regards to our concern and doubts to our surprise he gave us a very convincing reply in no time. Then after numerous e.mails with Dr. Malpani we finally prepared ourselves to go to India for our last hope.

Upon our arrival in Bombay that evening Dr. Malpani was very gracious to give us an appointment the very next day in the evening. As soon as we stepped in we were very graciously welcomed in his office by very professional staff of his clinic not to mention the State of the Art Clinic they run in India. This first meeting with Dr. Malpani was so very formal that we did not for a moment thought we were home away from home. He answered all our question very convincingly

And top of all he was so friendly we couldn’t believe ourselves that we met Dr. Malpani for the first time. Then we were explained about the course of the treatment and we started the treatment as per request. We had to make numerous trips to his clinic before the actual IVF treatment but every time we went to his clinic we were very impressed by his whole team who are the most friendliest and professional we have ever seen.

Then came the time after the IVF to wait for the results, we came in that morning for blood test and were told to come back in the afternoon or call the office for results. But for a reason we had to come back to clinic and I saw Dr. Malpani standing in front of the reception writing some notes and he saw me by his side and laugh as usual which is his nature ever smiling couple and tells me very normally that your wife is pregnant and I took a step back for a moment I couldn’t believe myself so I asked him again you sure and he said yes. Then I rushed down to my wife to tell her this greatest news in our lifetime and I told her, she also couldn’t believe it then we both went up to the clinic and met with Dr. Malpani again and ask him again he said yes you are pregnant and it’s positive. By this time we had tears in our eyes of joy. We were ask to make one more visit for blood test and were told that now you can leave and do the rest of the procedures back home. And we left in next 3 or 4 days.

We would like to take this opportunity to tell other similar skeptical
couples to not to waste time by searching for alternatives. Dr. Malpani's
clinic the right places to make their dreams come true. The whole experience
should be shared by both the husband & wife as a treatment to their problem
as it is never a single person's fault. Running away from the problem or
avoiding it is not at all worth it. The outcome at the end is really
something beautiful. We would also like to take this opportunity to offer any
kind of reply to other couples.

We will be definitely visiting Dr. Malpani's clinic with our baby very soon.

It gives us great pleasure to share our experiences at
the Malpani Infertility Clinic in India. We also take
this opportunity to convey our sincere regards and
thanks to the entire Dr. Malpani's team.

My husband and I got married when we were in the
middle of our career. We were both career oriented and
our educated families never gave us any "real
pressure" to have children in our early years of
marriage. We took all the possible opportunities to
travel to different parts of the world to get better
placement in our career. But we knew time is running
out to plan for a family. When we decided to get
pregnant, it was not too difficult and I conceived in
summer of 2001 after six years of our married life. We
were quite excited as it all happened at the right age
and were hopeful for risk-free pregnancy.
Unfortunately I had a spontaneous miscarriage at 6wk
of pregnancy. My doctor consoled me that such
spontaneous abortion is a nature's way to eliminate
damaged or abnormal embryos.

Our worries began after a year or so of the
miscarriage, when we were unable to get pregnant
again. Age of 32 years was still not an issue
according to the US doctors and they wanted to give us
more time to conceive natural ways. We tried one more
year using ovulation kit and predicting most fertile
period and failed. The frustration was building up and
then came series of tests: Hysterosalpingogram (to
check Fallopian tube's patency), Laparoscopy (to check
the endometrial fibroids and ovarian cysts), complete
hormonal account (LH, FSH, estradiol, TSH etc) and of
course my husbands complete sperm analysis. All the
tests were normal and we were put in the category of
"Unexplained Infertility". Although we felt very
fortunate that everything was normal to have a baby
but at the same time it was unclear to us that how
much the assisted reproductive technology (ART) can
really help us in achieving fertility without a
specific problem in the system. Anyway, we didn't have
much choice so it started with simple IUI
(intrauterine sperm insemination) to taking fertility
drugs (clomid tablets to FSH injections) to improve my
ovulation status and every cycle, every month ended in
a big disappointment. Then the doctors suggested that
IVF may be my last chance which I was never convinced
as generally IVF is suggested when tubes are blocked
and one needs to rescue the fertilization event in a
petri-plate. I finally decided to go for it. Again
there was an unwanted surprise. My day 3rd FSH level
was high and according to a recent study that is
indicative of poor ovarian response. However, doctors
asked us to wait till a cycle when FSH is normal and
may be then I will have better chance in IVF. So we
did wait for another cycle when my FSH was normal and
underwent IVF. Unfortunately my poor ovarian response
produced few immature eggs and those were also
unevenly fertilized.

At that point I had given up of having a baby. My
strong religious and ethical believes were playing a
major role in my decision as I am a strong believer
that one can always assist reproduction with new
technology but can not play GOD or ALMIGHTY NATURE. In
our final follow up meeting with the doctor suggested
me for another IVF with ICSI (and deep inside me, I
knew these are all false hopes-if egg quality is not
good, performing ICSI-intra-cytoplasmic sperm
injection is not the choice!) or go for a donor eggs
and IVF with my husband's sperm. Then there came a
rescuer in our family who willing accepted to be my
egg-donor.

When most of the difficult choices were already made,
choosing a doctor in India was not at all a difficult
task for us, because if you type infertility and
India, first 10 most important sites come up in
"Google" is Dr. Malpani's site or his discussion in
the news. It was also easy to get in touch with him
via email. He gave us a very prompt reply when we
filled the free-second opinion form on the net. Since
then I am amazed by Dr. Aniruddha Maplani's
networking. All the treatment plan, synchronization of
mine and donor's cycle, getting convenient dates to
visit India, everything was kind of a click away. Dr.
Aniruddha is so particular in replying the mails that
any medical emergency one might have during the
pre-treatment plan, one can reassure that it will be
taken care of by his timely advice given from
thousands of miles away. At times we were skeptical as
we have never met the Doctor and his team and even
never visited the clinic before. For such dilemma,
again Dr. Malpani's web site has solutions and has a
series of email buddies whom if you contact you are
sure to get an elaborate answer.

Finally we met Dr. Aniruddha Malpani in 2004 and I
must say I was impressed by his professionalism. He
discussed all our doubts and gave his very
straightforward opinion. Dr. Aniruddha is less
talkative but he takes his job very seriously. I
valued his opinion as at all steps he clearly
discussed the limitations of the treatment and never
gave us false hopes. Dr. Anjali on the other hand very
friendly and always making the tough moments light
enough to smile. The clinic is impressively clean and
very homely. The staff is very cooperative and
friendly. We started our treatment plan, everything
was working out as per the plan, the donor had ample
number of eggs, sperm quality of my husband was good
enough and then came another unwanted surprise-none of
the eggs were fertilized. I could not explain how
disappointed we were when we got this news. Dr.
Aniruddha explained in detail that "emergency ICSI"
can be still performed on a day old eggs where the
chances of having successful pregnancy will drop from
initial 50% to 5-15%. I had my reservations with ICSI
that there are more chances of getting genetic
abnormalities with such a procedure and I was not
ready to go for it. We discussed again with Dr.
Malpani and he cleared all my fears and doubts and
strongly suggested that ICSI is perfectly ethical and
risk-free treatment. He also emphasized that with
emergency ICSI performed chances are only 15% but
definitely better than 0%. We believed in him and said
yes and then the miracle happen. Today we have hope, I
am 8weeks pregnant and it takes your breath away to
listen to your baby's first heartbeat.

Today, I am very grateful to Dr. Malpani and his
entire clinic and wish them all the very best in their
noble work. My special thanks and gratitude to all the
nurses and staff, especially Miss Muttu, Sonia, Bindu
and others.

AS from USA

We had undergone numerous efforts to have a baby after 2 yrs of our marriage, since 1997.We have gone through almost every possible way to have a baby after visiting a number of famous doctors in India and in Oman where we are residing at present. Doctors in Oman came to a conclusion that it is the case of a PCOD and they told us that there are only 2 ways for its cure - one is Laparoscopy and the second one is IVF . We then started our research and luckily one fine evening we got a copy of Outlook magazine where a comparison of IVF specialists in India was described. We also visited a health website which provided a second opinion from a panel of specialists. Without wasting any time we shot off an e-mail with our medical history and to our delight we got a reply promptly from Dr.Malpani whose article we had already read in Outlook magazine. He also supported the findings of doctors of Oman by reviewing our medical records. We took an appointment for 5th June'2005 and made our holiday plan accordingly.

On our first visit we had a very pleasant experience. No long waiting as usually happened in other clinics. It gives us a mental relaxation. Clinic was very homely - no hospital like odour or sickening effect found . We soon met the charismatic figure , Dr Aniruddha Malpani , who answered all our doubts and queries despite his hectic schedule. We liked his saying that "you should always trust the doctor with whom you are getting treatment" and that “you should be well informed.” It was really very comforting for both of us - Aniruddha Malpani’s advice and the cheerful & relaxing attitude of Dr. Anjali. They told us that chances for having a baby is around 40% since we were young .Our treatment took less than a month and ISCI was performed on 30th of June 2005 . I immediately came back to Oman to join duty , leaving my wife at my residence in Mumbai. We really got disappointed and felt unfortunate when after 12 days of the ISCI , the result was negative . At first we thought the same story we had experienced with other doctors in the past was going to be repeated, but we remembered the words of Doctor Aniruddha Malpani - trust in your doctor , which gave us strength. The consoling advice from Dr Malpanis worked and he advised us to go for another session of treatment after giving rest of one month. We mentally prepared ourselves for our second cycle. Since my wife was all alone in Mumbai, she used to visit the clinic by herself, where she was given very cordial, heartfelt and personal attention by Dr Aniruddha , Dr Anjali and the whole staff on every visit , so that she never felt any discomfort . Mentally she became relaxed and stronger , which is required for this treatment. Just 5 days before ISCI was to be performed , I dashed to Mumbai from Oman. ISCI was performed on 25th of August'2005 and for our pleasure this time it was a positive result . Our jubiliation has no bounds.

Dr Malpanis have done a great job and we were really impressed by them. Dr Malpani advised us that pregnancy should be treated like any other normal pregnancy but after hearing our story , our doctors in Oman here have been treating this pregnancy as a PRECIOUS PREGNANCY . We are really feeling something special and it happened only because of the precise treatment provided by Dr Anirudh Malpani and Dr Anjali Malpani. We are looking forward to visiting the Clinic somewhere in Dec'2005 with our baby in hand.

We would like to take this opportunity to tell other couples that Dr. Malpani's clinic is the right place to make their dreams come alive. The whole experience should be shared by both the husband & wife as a treatment to their problem as it is never a single person's fault. Running away from the problem or avoiding it is not at all worth it. The outcome at the end is really something very beautiful. We would also like to take this opportunity to offer any kind of reply to other couples.

We wish Dr. Malpani's clinic a very successful future , and a long life to both of them , so that they provide help to the needy couples in making their dreams come alive.
